@alfa additional proof lang naman ung employment contract.. kung meron kang COE with salary & job description pwede na un.. isama mo ung ITR as proof na ngbabayad ka ng tax at paid employment cia.. kapalit nung payslips pwede din bank statement kung saan pumapasok salary mo before.. pero kung wala tlaga pwede na ung ITR..

@raspberry0707 thank you

Jelz · July 2016

hi nag agency po ba kau?

raspberry0707 · July 2016

@alfa you're welcome

raspberry0707 · July 2016

Hi @Jelz wag ka na mag-agency sayang ung 150k to 200k na bayad mo as professional fee e ikaw din naman kukuha lahat ng requirements. Iu-upload lang nila yung mga files mo at magbibigay ng advice. Madali lang mag-upload ng documents at madami kang makukuhang info dito sa forum. Itabi mo na lang ung 150-200k mo pambayad sa visa fee.

Jelz · July 2016

hi @raspberry0707 salamat naman sa reply huhu kasi plano ko talaga naghahanda na ko ngaun sa ielts kayalang ngaun lang kakasabi ng friend ko baka daw ma reject ako visa at masayang ang effort ko kasi wala pa akong years na nag memedtech huhu

Jelz · July 2016

@raspberry0707 nasa Sg ako ngaun kasi as a Phlebotomist.. 2 years na ako dito, di daw kasi ma cocount to as experience kasi hindi related sa tech.. tingin nu ba wag ko nalang ituloy muna application ko?

raspberry0707 · July 2016

@Jelz ang minimum years of experience na required kse sa AIMS ay 3 years. So hindi ka pa abot. Most probably technician ibibigay sau, hindi ko sure kung papayagan kang mag-sit sa exam para maging Scientist.

Depende sa AIMS kung anong certification ibibigay sau.

Kung Med Lab Tech ang ibigay sa yo, hindi ka pwedeng mag-apply ng Visa 189 kse wala sa SOL ang MLT. Ang pwede mong i-try ay Visa 190, state sponsorship yun. Abang ka ng mga States na magbubukas for Med Lab Tech, usually South Australia open for MLT. Ewan ko na lang ngaun.

Good luck.

Jelz · July 2016

thank you @raspberry0707 pero pwede din ba yun kung mag experience muna ko atleast 6 mos as med tech then apply ako uli possible ba yun? tapos wag muna ako mag ielts?
tia

raspberry0707 · July 2016

@Jelz hindi ko alam pano ka ia-assess ng AIMS.. try mo magpa-assess pag naka-3 years ka na.. pero need ng IELTS sa assessment..

Pero cguro mas okay kung kumuha ka muna ng more experience as Med Tech.. mas lalaki ung chance mo na maka-sit for exam ng MLS..

Edy · July 2016

Hi guys! I just wanna ask kung yung Pathology Collection work experience ba dito sa Australia. Considered ba yan as Closely Related Nominated occupation sa Medical Lab Scientist. For immigration purposes in claiming additional points.

Looking for your response! Salamat po!

raspberry0707 · July 2016

@Edy alam ko pang MLT cia.. di ko lang alam kung icoconsider cia ng AIMS.. anyway papa-assess mo naman lahat ng experience sa AIMS..

Wait natin ung reply ng iba..

@rjohndeguzman

Hi Reinier,

Ung bbguy.org ok bang reviewhin? and do u still have those files? TIA! :-)

raspberry0707 · July 2016

Hi @Luiza ginamit ko din yung bbguy.org na bigay ni Reinier. Okay siyang gamitin sa review. Madami din sa youtube na videos na maganda explanation at concise. Type mo lang yung topic sa youtube.

Nasa US na si Reinier. Nakakuha cia ng job offer dun bago pa siya makapag-apply ng visa to Australia.

Good luck sa exam.

Aiza05 · July 2016

@raspberry0707

Thanks for ur reply! Wow nsa US na sya! Inggit much! hahaha! Joke lng! Pero sa totoo lang, lately dahil sa nkkabangon na ulit ang US prang gusto q don mgmigrate, boring kasi dto sa Aust walang masyadong pasyalan lol! Tsaka impossible na saming mag asawa sa ngyn ang makabili ng bahay dto esp. sa sydney at dto sa location namin sa sobrang mahal ng mga bahay dto lol! How are you nga pla? andto kna sa aust?

raspberry0707 · July 2016

@Luiza madami kseng nsa retireable age na Med Techs sa US ngaun.. kaya ang daming openings sa US.. kahit nga d ako ng-aapply.. ung mga agency nge-email.. 3 years ago hindi ganon.. 2017 ung na-predict nila na madaming openings sa Med Tech sa US.. pero this year pa lang ang dami na e..

Naghihintay pa din kami ng grant. Almost 14 months na. Pero pinapa-renew na medical exam and police clearance namin.. so baka tapos na ung External Security Check.. baka by Aug or Sept may result na..

Pati ba sa Melbourne mahal houses? Dun sana namin balak magsettle down..

@gene_borres

Hi gene!

Question lang..after bang makapasa ng aims, ano tawag satin? Scientific officer or technical officer or either one? Are they the same? TIA! :-)

Aiza05 · July 2016

@raspberry0707

Oh i see..maybe ganon nga..marami ng pa retire sa kanila doon pero suntok sa buwan na papayag ang asawa q na magmigrate don kasi lahat ng relatives nya andto na and dto na sya almost nggrow up...

thats good malapit na pla..tlagang tyagaan at pasensya lng nuh lalo na satin na immigrant lang dto..aq intay ng application for citizenship hopefully this year pra makapag aral na ulit aq...

im not quite sure with melbourne but base sa mga naririnig q at sa mga news nadin, mataas nrn ang progress ng melbourne at soon ay magmamahal nrn ang mga property and cost of living don katulad dto..

basta goodluck huh at keep the faith and hopes up! ;-)

Aiza05 · July 2016

Hi to everyone!

Im just curious about this..if we are able to pass the aims professional exam..anong tawag satin? technical officer or medical scientist? TIA! ;-)

Aiza05 · July 2016

@vangie @iam_juju

Hi! Sorry about my late reply but i cant help it but to reply on this based on my current situation..ngayon q lng din kasi nababasa halos lahat ng posts dto...

currently ive been working for 6 months as a tech.assistant/ pathology collector in a govt hospital..tho almost 4 years nako dto sa aust pero pinili q muna magwork sa mga company na hndi in-line sa course ko just to save up money for almost 3 years since iba ang visa q nung ngmigrate aq dto..

MT din aq satin with few years of experience and this year lang aq ngpractice ng profession na in-line sa course natin tho phlebo muna kasi u need to put ur foot in the door first..wala aq local experience dto and ng short course lng aq ng cert.3 but dahil ngwwork ang hipag q sa royal north shore hospital, backer q sya kya natanggap ako pero if aq lang ang magaapply,malaki ang chance na hndi aq matatanggap esp. in a govt hospital...kya base narin sa mga kwnto ng mga tao sa industry, if wala kang local experience, backer or kakilala sa loob or hndi ka ngstudy dto mejo pahirapan tlg ang pagpasok as MLS esp. dto sa sydney kasi mas marami ang applicant sa available na work..ive got a friend na hindi in-line sa science ang natapos nya pero still na-hire sya sa specimen reception gwa ng may backer sya sa loob..im gonna take an exam sa march so that i can apply to the next position..ang importante nsa system ka na nila,kahit sa pinakamababang position ka ngstart, pede ka ng mgapply to higher job and mas malaki chance na mattanggap.

This is just based on my experience and from what I heard from a lot of people in the industry lately.

raspberry0707 · July 2016

After assessment Medical Laboratory Scientist ang tawag sa atin.. after the exam Medical Laboratory Scientist.

raspberry0707 · July 2016

@Luiza tapos ka na ba ng initial assessment as Med Lab Technician sa AIMS?

Aiza05 · July 2016

@raspberry0707

i guess so...sabi sa letter i can sit for a professional exam na raw...different kasi ung sakin kasi hndi for migration purposes ung membership ko sa kanila..PR nako dto and gusto q lng na mapractice q na ang MLS kya ngdecide aq mgtake ng exam next year...ngyn q lng kasi nababasa ang mga posts dto kya nacurious naman aq lol! thats good at least direcho na tlg tayo..ung iba kasi dto sa location ko na pasado na sila ng aims pero ibang lahi sila..ngstart sila ngyn sa specimen recption kasi nga wla pang available na work for them..thanks for replying huh ;-)

raspberry0707 · July 2016

Ung ibang nakapasa din ng exam na nakamigrate na jan.. hindi MLS ung work.. sa specimen collection or as Technical Officer ung work nila.. mahirap tlaga magsimula na MLS..

Aiza05 · July 2016

@raspberry0707

that is so true! Sa observation q lang may discrimination din kasi minsan lalo na if hndi english ang first language ng applicant or hndi dto nakapag aral or wla man lng local experience kahit sa mga maliliit na lab..kya aq din malamang pag nakapasa aq TO muna or sa specimen reception muna then plan q kasi icontinue ung masteral q dati from philippines sa isang uni dto so that I can try applying for a higher position sa lab like scientist..iba tlg dto lahat,even as a phlebo malaki din ang pagkakaiba ng roles ng phlebo dto compare sa phlebo satin kya advantage tlg nung iba kung nkpag aral sila dto at least alam na nila ang system..kaso ang mahal lng tlg ng tuition fee unless citizen na at least pede ng mgstudent loan from government without interest.

raspberry0707 · July 2016

Wala bang discount or government subsidy pag gusto mo mag-Masters kung citizen na?

If ever pala mag-continue ako ng Masters, kelangan makahanap ng scholarship..

@raspberry0707

merong discount for citizen na pag HECS ang kukunin pero nabasa q lately na ttanggalin na nila ang discount next year...subsidized ang course mo kpag PR or citizen ka na pero depende sa course and school mo..marami sila scholarship and hndi q pa kasi naeexplore ang mga scholarships dto pero based on my capacity, mag loloan nlng aq sa govt lol! Try to take a look tong website nato http://studyassist.gov.au/...anjan lhat ng info for students and fee help from government..i just attended an info session for master of science in university of technology sydney last june..mejo masalimuot ang mga requirements nila and ginagawa q muna sa ngyn ay pinapaackaso q sa brother q ang pagkuha ng mga credentials q jan sa pinas nung ng master's aq na hndi ko natapos kasi tinmad nako gawin ang thesis gwa ng ngmigrate nako dto...maganda ang program ng UTS for master of science kya gusto q tlg sya ipursue...im not quite sure as well kung ihohonor nila ang BS q jan sa pinas as equivalent of their BS kya pinapakuha q ang mga natapos q na units sa Pinas...

kasi dba ang highschool nila dto ay until year 12 eh tayo sa pinas until year year 10 kya bka kulang pako ng 2 years for my undergraduate course and bka hndi q makuha agd ang master's nila dto pero ittry q prn muna..magpapa assess muna aq sa UAC (Universities admissions centre) if pde aq tumuloy agd ng masteral..

I forgot to mention..malaki tlg ang advantage pag citizen kna when it comes to studying,subsidized pa ng govt ang tuition fees mo..madaling mg loan sa government and hndi mo sya need bayaran agd until may certain amount ng salary mo ang naabot mo na...tska staggered ung payments..sabi nila hndi mo rw halos mrramdaman ang deductions sa salary mo.

kumusta na nga pla ang application mo?

raspberry0707 · July 2016
